Try This One Weird Canning Trick

October 5, 2013 •

This will soften the sealing compound under the lids, allowing it to form a tight bond with the glass jars. Boiling the lids should be avoided, since it could damage the sealant. We came across this handy tip while following recipes from Canning For A New Generation, by Liana Krissoff.
